New Issue: GS Finance prices $7.7 million contingent coupon autocallables linked to S&P, Russell

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., March 6 – GS Finance Corp. priced $7.7 million of autocallable contingent coupon notes due March 7, 2024 linked to the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 7.5% if each index closes at or above its coupon trigger level, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

Beginning in March 2018, the notes will be automatically called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any coupon determination date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index finishes below 50% of its initial level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worse-performing index.

Goldman Sachs & Co. is the underwriter.
